PARANOIA T1 Stay Alert (The Troubleshooter Rules)

Ultraviolet Books

Description

EVERYONE SHOULD BE HAPPY. IMMEDIATELY.

In the underground city of Alpha Complex, The Computer wants every citizen to have fun. If you're not having fun, The Computer will turn you into reactor shielding.

ATTENTION, TROUBLESHOOTERS. PLEASE RETURN THIS STOLEN HELPBOT TO ITS OWNER. THIS MISSION INVOLVES *NO* DEADLY WARFARE BETWEEN RIVAL CRIMINAL GANGS AND WILL BE LOTS OF FUN.

The Computer's elite service agents, the Troubleshooters, have fun delivering the helpbot to a sequence of murderous gangsters. It's not annoying or repetitious at all, no siree. ("You look like you’re about to shoot your teammate! Would you like help?")

IF YOU MEET DIFFICULTIES, SEEK HELP FROM YOUR FELLOW TROUBLESHOOTERS.

Team Leader Fletcher-R is about to have lots of fun learning about his teammates. He'll learn they're criminals themselves. Or they belong to traitorous secret societies. Or they’re betraying illegal mutant powers, usually while betraying illegal mutant teammates. Fun, fun, fun.

BEWARE! TRAITORS ARE EVERYWHERE!

High on an experimental alertness drug called Leery, Fletcher must complete his mission before the treacherous Troubleshooters discover his own mutation -- or his ever-changing criminal affiliations -- or his membership in the First Church of Christ Computer-Programmer -- in short, before Fletcher’s teammates find out HE’S a traitor. Fletcher is about to have more fun than anyone can stand.

STAY ALERT! TRUST NO ONE! KEEP YOUR LASER HANDY!
